As well as two mindfulness skills, and a few trigger points you can use any time of day to help lower anxiety and combat stress. You will leave class with useful tools to care for yourself.

Jade Nelson has practiced yoga for over twenty-three years and honed her skills of observation and intuition as a bodyworker for sixteen years. When she steps onto the mat to guide others or herself, she believes it is a slow and loving walk to meet our truest selves.

Smart Moves

$54

with Liz Giles-Brown

Calendar May 11, 2023 at 4:30 pm, runs for 5 weeks

Neuroscientists know life-long learning positively impacts brain health and aging, and that physical activity is as much for the brain as it is for the body. When you combine the two and take up a new physical activity that requires learning, you get a “twofer!” Two for the time of one! Discover why and how as you learn a variety of scarf, toss, and bounce juggling patterns.

Beginners start with a simple step-by-step learning process, and those with more experience will challenge their skills with new patterns. Everyone will walk away having learned a new way to oxygenate, energize, and integrate their brain – anytime and anywhere. Come willing to learn through trial and error, and be prepared for fun and laughter!

With over 30 years of teaching experience, Liz Giles-Brown, owner of Learning On The Move, uses movement, music, rhythm & rhyme to teach children, adults, and educators the brain-body benefits of infusing school and work days with movement and physical activity.
